Sluggish sales and high manufacturing overhead forced Virtual i-O into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in March 1997. Its assets were reorganized as '''i-O Display Systems''', which continued to refine the product line through the 2000s, introducing the higher-resolution i-glasses SVGA in 1997 and the stereo-capable SVGA Pro in 2003.<ref name="3do"/><ref name="jonpeddie">Robert Dow. i-O Display Shows Off PRO SVGA Compatible Headset.

The i-glasses utilized dual [[LCD]] displays to create a [[stereoscopic 3D]] effect. The 1995 models employed two 0.7 inch active-matrix LCDs with a [[color sequential display]] system, which displayed red, green, and blue colors in sequence to create full-color images.<ref name="stanford">Stanford Graphics. Virtual I/O's iglasses! head mounted display. Retrieved from https://graphics.stanford.edu/infrastructure/gamma-corrected/iglasses.html</ref> The displays were semi-transparent, allowing users to see through them in brightly lit environments, enabling [[augmented reality]] applications through a hinged, flip-up opaque visor.<ref name="google-arts"/> | The i-glasses utilized dual [[LCD]] displays to create a [[stereoscopic 3D]] effect.
